Future Analog Systems Technologies (FAST)

Eric Pepin received his BSEE from the University of Washington (UW) in 2012, and decided to stay at UW, as well as with the FAST Lab, to pursue his MSEE/Ph.D. in electrical engineering. Eric’s interests are in interfacing technologies between nature and electronics, specifically those involving analog/mixed- signal integrated circuits (ICs), biomedical instrumentation, and digital signal processing. Currently, Eric is working on a project that’s a collaborative effort between the FAST Lab and the multidisciplinary NSF Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (CSNE), also here at UW. Specifically, the project is concerned with developing a standard-CMOS, low-power neural stimulator IC for applications in brain- computer interfaces and CSNE test-bed equipment.

As an undergraduate, Eric contributed to several research projects within the Sensors, Energy, and Automation Lab (SEAL) at UW, participated in NASA SURP (UW, Summer 2011), and was named a Mary Gates Research Scholar (UW, Winter/Spring 2012).
